The dreaded aisle runner question!

[DaPookie]

So here I am... Attempting to make my own custom aisle runner. I've got the runner, my humongeous monogram, paints and brushes at the ready, when I think to myself, "Self? Is the aisle REALLY 75 feet long?"

Faithfully, I run to the Disboards to search the unending knowledgebase of all of you wonderful past and present brides! 'lo and behold, there are copious amounts of posts about aisle runners, but no real definitive answers.

I've found that the actual aisle itself is 64' long, however Disney recommends a 75' runner. If that's the case, exactly where do those extra 9' go? Out the door? Does the 64' take you to the 1st set of closed doors (the ones the bride waits behind before she and her father enter ), or to the actual exit ones?

Does anyone have the real answer? Or has someone ordered an aisle runner from somewhere and remembers what length they told them to make it NOT go out the door?

I just don't want to paint that monogram in the wrong place, and my goal is to have it IN the pavilion!

(Yes, I could call Disney to check on Monday, but I was hoping to paint this this weekend and didn't have the doubts about the length until I started, and I'm running out of weekends for projects! )

Oh I'm in the same boat but I have more time than you.

Subscribing 'cause I'd like to know too.

I'll let you know if I find out before someone else lets us both know!

Thanks! I too want to paint my own aisle runner but I want to know the right size before I order one. I'd be bummed if I bought the wrong size.

I'll be painting "And they lived happily ever after" on mine. I've always loved that idea.

I'm afraid I don't have a 'real' answer, but when I was considering the same project, I had planned on cutting about 10 feet off the end of a 75 foot runner.

I believe the put the remainder up the steps of the altar.

Mine has a monogram similiar to the one found here: http://roadtotheaisle.blogspot.com/2007/07/diy-aisle-runner.html and then I put "Happily Ever After" underneath!

So the 64' is from the floor beneath the steps to the door without going outside?

Awww sounds cute! Are you doing a paper or fabric runner?

i'm making my sisters with a 75ft runner so that we can put it up the stairs in the pavilion.

It's neither, really... It's kind of like interfacing. I think it's what's referred to as vellum, but I'm not sure! I got it at AC Moore and all I know is it isn't plastic or paper.

Hmmm interesting. I've been trying to figure out if I want a paper or fabric one. I'll have to look into the vellum ones.
